Lenovo Vibe K5 is the only notable budget smartphone released last month, which means Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 will have a place in the market.

Global technology giants released several devices in the past one month in India but most of them belong to mid-budget and high-end categories. Lenovo Vibe K5 is the only notable addition to the budget category, which means Indian prospective buyers have to buy the latest device or choose from those released more than a month ago if their budget is within Rs. 10,000.
